Hello, Teodor!

In "unicode example" you use pdfFontName="ARIAL.TTF". This setting later transforms to iText call : BaseFont.createFont("ARIAL.TTF",...) etc.

Is it possible to call font by its alias ("arial"), not by file name with path, to embed corresponding true type font in PDF. I tried to but did not succeed. I'm interested especially in unicode.

WBR,
Dmitry.

Hi,

In the pdfFontName, you have to specify the name
of the TTF file, not the logical name of the font.

This is how iText works with TTFs.

Thank you,
Teodor

Is jasper reports support some manner which allow user specify the location of TTF file in a place, and give the file a logical name. Then in pdfFontName attribute, the logical name can be used and it will be replaced with the file place automaticlly when passing to iText.

Thanks,
Ling

Hi,

Sorry. JasperReports does not have such a feature.
Maybe in the future.

Thank you,
Teodor
